Dragon Quest II: Better Than You Remember
February 11, 2020 17:58Dragon Quest II has a reputation as the one to skip if you want to experience the original games. The first Dragon Quest has its charms as the progenitor, and Dragon Quest III is remembered as a certified classic, but Dragon Quest II sits in an odd space between them. On its release it was notorious for difficulty spikes, including a penultimate dungeon that could trap you forever, and a final boss with the ability to fully heal itself at any time. If there was ever a poster child for g...
Dragon Quest: Incredibly Archaic, Impossibly Good (iOS Review)
January 29, 2020 17:41I made a video a while ago basically telling people not to play the original Dragon Quest if it was their first time attempting to play the series. My criticisms were that its design was incredibly archaic by today’s standards, which could potentially turn off newcomers. I recommended the Game Boy Color version for anyone really wanting to see what all the fuss was about, but also mentioned the mobile port as an option, even though I had not played it at the time. I have since played s...

Kingdom Hearts: Nostalgia vs. Reality
January 08, 2019 19:18I routinely rank Kingdom Hearts among my favorite games, but I haven’t replayed it since the PS2 days.
